Cannot play certain Netflix titles on Xiaomi Mi TV Stick (Global Version)

I got my streaming stick a few days ago and immediately encountered an error with Netflix. When I would play certain titles like White Chicks and The Legend of Zorro, it would give me an error saying "We are having trouble playing this title right now. Try again later or select a different title.". It also gave error code tvq-pb-101 (5.2.15). Any solutions?

Rii x8 remote problem with xaiomi mi box s

I've tried the standard google routine but can't find anything on my specific problem so I'm coming here next.

I just bought a xaiomi mi box s and also the rii x8 mini keyboard so I can use a web browser. Everything about the keyboard is great except that the back button on the keyboard (which actually says "back") doesn't do what it's supposed to. It does nothing. This means I have to keep the xaiomi remote handy too which is annoying. Anyone else encounter this issue? no other button on the keyboard seems to perform the same function as far as I can tell.

thanks in advance

mi 4k laser projector vs. Netflix

I just bought the Xiaomi mi 4k to replace my tv, and I was surprised the built-in android TV doesn't work with Netflix (impossible to install it from Google Play).

I was looking for solutions, and found an old post somewhere that suggested maybe an older Netflix APK could work.
I installed one of my most-often used Android apps, the
X-plore file manager and installed the obsolete Netflix APK. It didn't work. And then I couldn't even uninstall it in a normal way, because it wasn't shown on the list of apps.

But it turns out X-plore's App manager feature (which you need to first enable for any of the two panels) was not only able to find my unsuccessful installation of the old Netflix app, but also found an existing built-in Netflix app in the System group.
Netflix was actually there, not just disabled, but also hidden (which is probably the reason why I couldn't see my installed version in the app list before).
X-plore let me enable the built-in Netflix app and hey presto! It works! :-D

How to adjust picture settings while watching contents?

I don't get appropriate blacks when I play videos through Xiaomi Mi Box S

I have recently bought a new Samsung TV (Q95T). When I play high quality videos natively through Samsung's OS picture quality is miles better compared to playing same videos over VLC Player or Kodi via Android TV Box (Xiaomi Mi Box S).

Here's what a completely dark scene looks like when a video file is played through Xiaomi Mi Box S (played via VLC app - hooked to HDMI Port 1): https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xqy6qgewatviql/IMG_2282.jpg?dl=0

When the same thing is played on Samsung's Tizen, it's awesome, you can't discern anything, it's just completely black and everything is much sharper and better looking. Even when I play it on my laptop it's totally black.

Anybody encountered this problem? I tried playing with display settings on Xiaomi Mi Box S, changing screen resolutions, refresh rates, color space options. Nothing helped.

Is the only solution buying perhaps a better media/blu-ray player or is this the HDMI limitation that just has to be accepted?

Thanks everyone in advance for taking a look on this. Any help and input is greatly appreciated!

display Calendar, to-do's, notes etc on the Standby Screen?

Hey,

I have the new Chromecast with Google TV here.

I'm wondering if there's a way that I could add things like Calendar events (most important), To-Do's, Notes, etc on the Standby Screen (you know, where it shows the clock and weather with wallpapers and stuff)?

Maybe sorta like a "At a Glance" widget thingy?

Or some other alternative?

It would be super helpful for me since I have my TV screen in my room turned on all day, and since I have ADHD I constantly forget things like appointments or to-do's, so having these things constantly displayed in front of me would really help with the "out of sight, out of mind" thing people like me suffer from.

Airflow app for x265 (4k HDR 10 bits) files on Google TV

Hello

I'm having trouble with the decoding of x265 (4K HDR 10 bits) files on my Google TV. I tried several solutions, both through a USB stick, locally or by streaming from my desktop computer, using various app or casting, but they all failed in terms of smooth video playback. They were all very choppy and impossible to watch. Several however were successful with the audio decoding and I could see 7.1 or 5.1 signal being transmitted fine to my receiver.

Now, I came across the Airflow app and for the first time, I got a very smooth and correctly decoded video stream directly from my desktop computer casting to the Google TV device. However, although the screen displayed the audio as being 7.1 or 5.1, the receiver was only getting a stereo signal.

What is wrong? What do you suggest? Am I on the right path??

Also, as a side note, I tried contacting the Airflow support but didn't get an answer yet.

Hisense A6G

My TCL 5 Series TV arrived broken months ago from B&H after opening it now and I couldn't get a free replacement from TCL and B&H. Also, there was no one who wanted to fix the TV. So I decided to get the 43-inch Hisense A6G TV yesterday from Best Buy with Geek Squad 2-year standard warranty. I am aware of their bad QA/QC but I am giving them a shot.

It is coming today and I hope that the panel isn't damaged when it arrives. Has anyone owned/bought this TV? What are your thoughts on it?

Power and Volume controls for TCL Android TV with Chromecast with Google TV Remote

Hi all, I've just purchased a TCL Android TV (Model 55P615) and have plugged in my Google Chromecast with Google TV, however, I am unable to setup the Chromecast remote to turn the TV on or control the volume.

I've confirmed HDMI CEC is enabled in the settings on the TV but whenever I try to setup the buttons I select "TCL" but none of the options work. I read somewhere that selecing "Roku" from the device manufacturer list works but this didn't work in my case.

Can anyone assist please?

Thanks!

2K 60HZ over HDMI 1.4 on Chromecast with AndroidTV

Hi guys,to describe my problem you need to know table down below. It says that over HDMI 1.4 (which is the highest supported by my TV) you cannot do 4K over 60Hz. What You actually can is max. 2,5K with up to 75hz (my TV is max 60hz so no problem).

What I need to do is to set 2K60hz on my Chromecast with AndroidTV but in the settings I don't see this option. Is there a way to set the custom resolution and hz not listed in the settings?

Thanks for all relevant answer! :-)

Phantom clicks on Google TV remote

My remote is sending phantom clicks. For example, when navigating a keyboard two clicks left will have a small delay then send the selector around the board as if I'd clicked 8 or 9 times.

I then click once on a letter and it will enter it 8 times.

Is this a known issue? Any known fixes?
